In times of struggle, people give up on themselves and forget to accept themselves the way they are. This gives rise to inner chaos and conflicts that, in turn, results in suffering. The feeling of pain dominates their life, and they lose their interest and purpose to live.
Teal Swan on how to work on self-acceptance
Teal Swan is a popular icon in the world of new-age spirituality across the globe today. She is a best-selling author, a social media star, and an inspirational public speaker. She is not just a name in the spiritual world; she has endured 13 years of abuse and suffering herself. However, she rose above it all to now lead thousands of men and women across the world to a life of purpose and meaning with joy.
According to her and in many of the books she has published, she talks about how people forget to love themselves. They adhere to the needs of others, assuming this will make them happy; however, in most cases, they land up disappointed and sad.
Cultivating self-love
There are many people who confuse self-love with being more of a personal luxury than a necessity for good mental health. The actual meaning of self-love is how you are talking to yourself. Negative self-talk is very harmful to your mental health and well-being. Most people are too hard on themselves as they want to excel and be perfect in every area of their lives. They forget about self-care and the need to be compassionate when it comes to their needs and wants.
According to her, a lack of self-love can be compared to a fair-weathered friend who stays with you only when convenient. She has covered this topic in most of her books that are best-sellers across the globe. A person should know that perfectionism is not the ultimate goal in life. It is important for one to treat themselves with forgiveness and understanding. He/she needs to understand their recognition in shared humanity, where everyone is not perfect, and their personal experiences, needs, and wants do matter.
Mindfulness and awareness
It is important to practice the art of mindfulness, where you are a witness to your emotions and feelings. Being connected to oneself is crucial for happiness and joy in life. There are periods of pain and suffering that crop up from time to time. However, they are an integral part of life and help you evolve as a person.
Teal Swan shares her unique technique called The Completion Process with her followers. She has also written a book on this 18-step process that has the ability to transform lives and lead people to the path of authenticity and emotional healing.
You do not have to be isolated or separated from yourself or your thoughts when it comes to life. You need to feel connected in order to feel joy and find meaning in your life. This is possible via self-love, and it helps you stay free from suffering and loneliness with success!
